Title: Creep torque control system for a vehicle
Inventor: ORRIN HIPKIN
IPC: B60W30/18
Filed: 2020-09-23
Abstract: Vehicle which determines a terrain mode 630 of the vehicle, based on the terrain mode selects a relationship between torque and speed, and if creep mode is on (610), the drive torque is modulated according to the selected relationship (see figures 4,5). The vehicle may determine a target speed for creeping and maintaining the target speed with torque below the limit of the selected relationship to prevent wheel spin. The vehicle may also be accelerated from stationary to and maintained at the target speed. If the user’s torque demand exceeds the threshold of the selected relationship, the vehicle terminates creep mode and delivers the torque required. Creep mode may be reinstated once the vehicle speed and torque demand fall below threshold. The torque for each wheel may be controlled independently, and braking torque may be applied through an electric traction motor to maintain speed downhill.

Title: Predicting downhole mechanical cleaning efficiency in wellbore walls during wellbore fluids displacements
Inventor: VITOR LOPES PEREIRA
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 2018-12-31
Abstract: Predicting the efficiency of downhole mechanical removal of one or more accreted materials from one or more wellbore walls may prevent the unnecessary consumption of resources in a wellbore fluids displacement operation. A method and system for removing accreted materials in a wellbore is provided, wherein the efficiency of mechanical removal of accreted materials may be characterized based, at least in part, on a comparison between one or more actual shear stresses exerted by a wellbore servicing fluid at one or more depths of the wellbore and one or more required shear stresses to remove the accreted materials from the depth. The one or more required shear stresses may be determined using one or more of one or more known properties of the one or more accreted materials, one or more rheology models, one or more hydraulic parameters, one or more wellbore hydraulic models, and one or more downhole conditions. To account for one or more effects of eccentricity in the wellbore, the one or more actual shear stresses exerted by wellbore servicing fluid may be determined by partitioning one or more three dimensional flow profiles into divided annular segments for individual analysis. To improve operational decision making, operators or automated processes may modify the wellbore fluids displacement operation based, at least in part, on the comparison. The comparison between the one or more actual shear stresses and the one or more required shear stresses may be used to generate a parameter that characterizes the cleaning efficiency of the wellbore fluids displacement operation.

Title: End-to-end data format selection for hardware implementation of deep neural network
Inventor: JAMES IMBER
IPC: G06N3/063
Filed: 2017-11-03
Abstract: Selecting optimal fixed point number formats for representing weights and optimal formats for representing values input to and/or output from layers of a deep neural network, DNN, which take into account the impact of the fixed point number formats for that element, i.e. weight/input/output, on a particular layer in the context of the DNN. The methods comprise selecting the fixed-point number format(s) used to represent value sets for a layer one value set at a time before moving on to the next layer and doing the same for a layer at a time in a predetermined sequence. Layers are preceded in the sequence of their interdependency during the operation of the DNN. The fixed-point number format(s) for each layer are selected based on the error in the output of the DNN associated with the fixed-point number formats. Once the fixed point number format(s) for a layer have been selected any calculation of the error in the output of the DNN for a subsequent layer in the sequence is based on that layer being configured to use the selected fixed point number formats.
